The Rise of the European Emperor

In order to achieve a realistic effect, Malinte specially assumed the wall of the barracks as the "Great Wall of Delaware" in a barracks near Aurich, and conducted many drills. Of course, it is kept secret from the outside world, so as not to be known by the French. Every time there is a performance, the army will clear the scene in advance.

However, the problem lies with the "Frostwolf Clan". Because the huskies are not yet in place, they can only bring their own German shepherds to play first.

But Demu is so fierce that he can't tell what is acting and what is real. Therefore, during the battle, the German Shepherd almost really bit someone. This is the result of the dog owner's desperate efforts to hold it back, otherwise something will happen.

Marin sighed and said:

"Muzzle the German Shepherd!" With the muzzle on, the German Shepherd can no longer speak. This time, the acting went much smoother.

But when the real husky was in place, Marin felt that he was still too naive...

After this group of huskies have undergone a short period of special training, it is not a problem to howl before the battle, but when they really fight, these huskies that look like wolves are scared...

"How can this be good..." Marin had a headache.

These huskies are playing wolves! What kind of animal is a wolf? Fierce beast! How can a wolf back away in fright when it sees a fight?

Or dog expert Cilic gave an opinion:

"Your Majesty, let's let those infantry soldiers play with huskies, and feed them if it's okay..."

"Why?" Marin didn't respond for a moment.

Cilic explained:

"These Siberian huskies are very timid and seem to be frightened by the infantry with swords and shields. Therefore, there is only one way for the huskies to cooperate with the performance at that time—to make the huskies no longer fear those infantry with swords and shields."

"And the only way to make those huskies not afraid of those infantry is to let the huskies get acquainted with them, and let the huskies think that those soldiers are playing games with them..."

"And the best way to get them acquainted quickly is to let the soldiers feed the huskies immediately after they charge. In this way, the huskies will form a habit, and when they see the sword-and-shield infantry charge, they will think that the meal is ready and they will be excited From a distance, it looks like an attack..."

"Isn't this a conditioned reflex?" Marin looked at Cilic in surprise—this guy, he really has a way of keeping dogs!

As far as Marin knows, even if the police dogs are trained to perform tasks in later generations, the police dogs will mistakenly think that the owner is playing games with them. So it is indeed a good idea to let the infantry and huskies who charge "play the game" and then immediately feed the jerky.

Sure enough, after feeding them a few times, those gluttonous erhas were no longer afraid of those "human infantry" who were charging with swords and shields and claws. Even, after seeing it, I couldn't help but want to pounce on it, just to eat a mouthful of jerky...

Then, the "Frostwolf Orcs" tried their best to hold the rope, so as not to let go... In this way, the "Frostwolves" led by the "Frostwolf Orcs" showed "fighting to be the first" after the war attitude. In fact, it's just that this group of greedy Erhas want to eat jerky...

However, in the eyes of onlookers who don't know the truth, this scene seems to be that group of "wolves" eager to kill the group of "human infantry" in front of them...

At the same time, those charging "human infantry" will tie the meat strips to be fed to the huskies on their knees. The husky wanted to eat it, so he just went to bite the strip of meat on his knee and just tore it.

but,

From a distance, this scene looks like a wolf biting a soldier's knee, which is very terrifying...

Seeing such a good effect, Marin clapped his hands excitedly:

"That's great, Cilic, you really are a dog expert! With this, the cowardly Erha can play a wolf! Well, I want to give you an extra salary!"

...

Marin's acting is in full swing, and the Ming Dynasty in the Far East and the southeast coast are also in full swing. The Ming court was really fired, mobilized troops from all over the country, went to the coast of Guangdong, and stationed in various towns. At the same time, the military bureau of the capital, based on the record of the Humen Fort, was instructed by the cabinet to make all-out cannons and prepare to vigorously build forts along the coast.

Da Gama saw that he could not find any bargains along the coast of Guangdong, so he led the fleet northward and began to harass Hu Jian along the coast. Ming Ting is also prepared. However, some inhabited islands off the coast of Hu Jian were unable to defend and were looted a lot by the Portuguese fleet. Even the Portuguese fleet captured many young men and served as their slaves.

However, because the Ming Dynasty had already prepared for it, although Portugal broke through some islands along the coast of Hu Jian, it did not gain any benefits. Because, valuable things have long been taken into the city by the governments of various places. And Hu Jian's coastal counties have also stepped up their guard, and with the reinforcements sent by Hu Jian's general army, the Portuguese are helpless.

Moreover, Hu Jian's guards along the coast also resisted, using some crude firearms to damage three Portuguese warships. The firearm used to injure Portuguese warships is called the bowl-mouth gun. It was a firearm when the Ming Dynasty was founded, and it is also the most important firearm of the Daming Navy.

The caliber of the bowl mouth gun is three inches and four quarters seven, one foot and one inch long, and weighs sixty-three kilograms. It is a small-caliber artillery with a short barrel. The caliber is about 11 centimeters, which is 110 mm. . However, its barrel is also a bit short, only three times the caliber. It looks more like a mortar...

In addition, the shells fired by this kind of bowl-mouth gun are also stone shells, so the cost is low...

Because of the short barrel, the range of the bowl mouth gun is very limited, and the damage is also limited. Fortunately, the Portuguese warships were not that strong, so these mediocre blunderbusses actually wounded three Portuguese warships during the battle.

Then Da Gama went numb. Because, he couldn't find a place to repair the ship...

In the face of the menacing Portuguese fleet and the experience and lessons learned from Nanlang Town, Xiangshan County, the Ming court ordered that all the wood available for shipbuilding in coastal towns, including carpenters who knew how to build ships, be forcibly moved into the city. Protect.

In this way, it will be very difficult for Da Gama to replicate what he did in Nanlang Town. Therefore, the fleet temporarily stopped at a small island off the coast of Hu Jian.

Just when Da Gama was worried about the maintenance of the three warships, the translator Bernardo suddenly said:

"My lord, I heard from those fishermen that Dongfan Island, the territory of the North Sea Kingdom Marin in the Far East, is to the east. Why don't we send the injured boat to Dongfan Island for repairs? At the same time, try to find a way to get some supplies there... ..."

Because the Ming Dynasty began to pay attention to the gathering of materials in the coastal areas, many valuable things were moved into the city, and the Portuguese sailors were not good at attacking the city, so they had no choice but to do so. Especially gunpowder and cannonballs, which became less and less, which made Da Gama very anxious.

Officials of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be aware of this problem, and it was strictly forbidden to store gunpowder outside the city. Therefore, the Portuguese could not replenish gunpowder at all, which greatly affected the fleet's lasting combat effectiveness. After all, Portuguese warships rely on the power of artillery.

Therefore, Da Gama wants to take the fleet to Dongfan Island to resupply, it is best to buy some gunpowder and shells. At the same time, repair the three wounded warships.

However, just when they were about to leave for Dongfan Island, Kong Tai, the person in charge of Dongfan Island, sent someone to deliver a letter first...

"Neutral in wartime? What the hell?" Da Gama was confused. Then, Kongtai's envoy explained Da Gama to him in detail before he understood.

But now the Portuguese fleet is really short of ammunition, and it is difficult for the three damaged ships to persist. Therefore, Da Gama decided to visit Kong Tai in person in order to change Kong Tai's neutral position. At the very least, repair the three injured ships...
